open a file and get the content in an array

In php how to get a file by his path and return his content in an array? lets say that I have file: file.txt that have the path:path_file, and the file is TSV like this:

a0 b0
a1 b1
a2 b2
...

how can I access the file and put his content in an array like this:

array(
array(a0,b0),
array(a1,b1),
array(a2,b2),
 )

How can I get the file content by the use of the path?

 function get_content_file($path_file)
 {
 $data[];
  //open file by path
  //read file content
  //push the content in an array
  return $data;
 }

You can already get a file into an array line-by-line with file. If you want each item in the array to be an array itself then use array_map to process the lines:

$data = file($path_file);
$data = array_map(function($l) { return explode(" ", $l); }, $data);

If the file's format is not "values separated by a single space" then this code won't work correctly; in that case use an appropriate split function (perhaps preg_split) to break up each line into tokens.
